Chapter 161 Awaiting News

Lu Feng nodded slightly at Lin Dong, then walked into the restaurant with a smile.

"Uncle Lin, the butler just said you were here."

After speaking, Lu Feng walked directly to Lin Mei.

He was about to sit down.

Seeing this, Lin Mei couldn't help but frown and glanced at Lu Feng.

Although Lin Dong hadn't said much about Lu Feng earlier, his few words were enough to show his attitude.

At this moment, Lin Dong still found Lu Feng very displeasing.

Normally, it was nothing, but Lu Feng's casual demeanor now was like poking at Lin Dong's displeasure.

As a result, Lin Mei whispered, "Lu Feng, be polite!"

But Lin Mei's words seemed a bit late.

As soon as she spoke, Lu Feng had already plunked himself down in the seat.

"It looks like Lu Feng has won this time. His presence is no less than that of someone returning victorious!"

Lin Hai looked at Lu Feng, then turned his gaze back to Lin Dong.

"Lu Feng, do you need something from me?"

Lin Dong's voice was low.

Since Lu Feng was here, he must have a reason.

"Uncle Lin," he said in a gentle tone, "I'm here today specifically to inform you about the three-day period."

"Not enough? Is that so?"

Lin Hai, standing nearby, was purely enjoying the show.

This matter happened to Lu Feng.

In his eyes, it was like a spark falling on this person, and naturally, the fiercer it burned, the more beneficial it was for him.

"Dad, if you ask me, three days is indeed a bit short. How about four days!"

Lin Hai had sent people to constantly monitor Taidong Group these past few days.

But for several consecutive days, no news about the assistant had been leaked from Taidong Group.

"Lin Hai," Lin Mei, standing beside him, couldn't help it.

This person was clearly mocking her.

However, whether he could see his mockery required real skill.

Lu Feng listened calmly. After Lin Hai lowered his voice, he spoke again.

"Uncle Lin, three days is too long for me. Let's make it two days. I think by one or two in the afternoon, there will be news."

"What?"

Lin Dong felt as if he had swallowed a piece of aged ice.

At the same time, he quickly emerged from his daze.

His entire face was instantly covered with an uncontrollable excitement.

The assistant stepping down was a significant step forward.

But!

Lin Dong found it hard to believe that this was true.

Or, perhaps Lu Feng was just trying to deceive him with clever words.

After a fierce internal struggle,

Lin Dong said, "One or two o'clock, how do you know?"

After all, Lin Dong also had his informants in Taidong Group. These informants didn't know, so how could Lu Feng know?

Although Lin Dong didn't say these words directly in front of Lu Feng,

Lu Feng, through the subtle changes in his expression, could instantly understand Lin Dong's thoughts.

Why.

There were three reasons. First, Lu Feng, as the direct participant in this matter, naturally had more insider information or opportunities than others. Second, Taidong Group, since Ge Jun took office years ago, had always intended to completely separate Taidong from the Lin family, making them independent entities. After Ge Jun took office, he consciously, but subtly, screened the Lin family's informants within Taidong Group. As a result, the remaining informants from the Lin family within Taidong Group were either of lower rank, or even if of higher rank, their positions and duties made it difficult to approach the center of power. Third, this incident occurred in Taidong Group. Zhang Yun was not stupid; he wouldn't publicize it everywhere. Therefore, from the moment the assistant was taken away at the airport last night until now, Zhang Yun had adopted a strict information isolation policy for those below him. After all, once the news trickled down, it would attract countless people's attention in a short period. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. With more people paying attention, there would be more rumors. This would undoubtedly damage the positive image Zhang Yun wanted to establish, which was clearly something Zhang Yun did not want to see. Only when the matter was settled and a final decision was made would the news be fully released. Lu Feng calculated that one or two in the afternoon would be the time for the news to be released.

Therefore, Lu Feng looked up, his gaze meeting Lin Dong's, and he said in a low voice, "It's not important how I know, Uncle Lin. In short, that's about the time."

Lin Hai greatly admired the young man's ability to remain so calm.

However, this did not prevent him from continuing to stir up trouble.

"If the assistant can step down, it will be a great joyous occasion with countless benefits for both you, Mr. Lu, and our Lin family. I will be the first to congratulate you!"

After speaking, Lin Hai lowered his head and began to eat.

Lin Dong was momentarily unsure.

However, it was already twelve o'clock. After eating, it would be just past one o'clock.

After a moment of thought, the time was not long, and he decided to take another gamble.

"Someone, prepare a pair of chopsticks!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lin. I didn't eat breakfast, so I'm hungry now!"

Lin Mei pouted at Lu Feng's ravenous appearance.

She couldn't eat a single bite.

This Lu Feng was so unpredictable. Every action he took was difficult to fathom.

At this moment, Lin Mei also didn't know what Lu Feng would do next.

After all, could such encouraging results be achieved in just one hour?

Lin Mei was not stupid. Although she didn't have much experience in the business world, she had seen some of the world. If things were this simple in the world, it would be great.

"Lin Mei, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating?"

Lu Feng took a few bites and noticed Lin Mei sitting there like a statue, unmoving, and asked.

Lin Mei wanted to say a few words, but noticing that both Lin Dong and Lin Hai's gazes were focused on Lu Feng, she retracted the words that had reached her throat.

Among everyone present, although Lin Dong had also picked up his chopsticks, his mind was not on eating at all.

The woman beside Lin Hai's mouth showed an increasingly chilling look of malice.

"Hey, Lin Hai, this Lu Feng really has guts. I admire that."

Knowing the danger, he heads straight for it.

"What's the use of admiration? This kid will be kicked out of the Lin family sooner or later."
